Just to build on your point there, I think the mentality was "well I'm at potential risk if I get captured, so why not have a gun ready to go? at least that way if I don't shoot first I just get NLR if I die..." Didn't help that on previous iterations you were guaranteed to be killed off after being captured so you might as well have gone down fighting.You get instantly wiped, or worse, you're coerced into surrendering (which thankfully probably isn't a guaranteed slow PK anymore), because fighting back may put you at PK risk.
Getting taken down in a shootout isn't the crippling problem it was in past iterations either, both because of NLR & getting a replacement weapon is hardly a problem anymore. So to many, why not take the risk?
